It conveys a sense of urgency and intensity, reflecting the deep need or distress of the one crying out.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, a "boé" was often associated with public expressions of emotion, whether in times of distress, battle, or communal gatherings. In the context of the New Testament, such cries were often directed towards God or Jesus, reflecting the belief in divine intervention and the power of vocalized prayer. The act of crying out was not only a personal expression but also a communal one, often involving others in the plea for help or deliverance.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 995</b> <i>boḗ</i> – an onomatopoeic term, imitating the visceral sound of intense exclaiming – like a <i>heartfelt</i> cry for help.
